They may be fat, but they're not TOO fat. They are always beautiful (which, of course, is what we want in a model), but they are also always well-proportioned and just larger-sized version of 'normal' people. NEVER would we put a woman with a belly hanging down to her knees, or back fat that looks like an extra set of boobs, in a 'fashion' spread. Maybe we've come a long way, but we've still got a long way to go.

I'm thinking that naked is kind of by definition 0 fashion. but they are lovely ladies-you're not wrong to say that I'll never look like that, even if the body type is closer Not to be a prude, and these are amazing pictures, but isn’t this supposed to be a fashion spread?

Yeah, they're zapping the cellulite. But then, I'm sure that happens with lots of slender ladies too. I know that my *gorgeous* size-zero roommate from a couple of years ago had cellulite all over her lower body, and I don't think that's unusual.

I photograph and photoedit as a hobby and I can spot airbrushing a mile away. There's absolutely no cellulite in sight. The skin is clearly a product of quite a bit of dodge and burn in Photoshop. But I guess if skinny women get airbrushed, why not fat women? Beth is definitely right. I photograph and photoedit as a hobby and I can spot airbrushing a mile away.

Not a single one has a double chin, the area has been shadowed out. Their skin is perfection. They are ageless.
